a.
To determine:
The frequency of “sickle cell alleles” to be found in next generation.
a.
Explanation of Solution
The allele frequency for sickle cell hemoglobin for current generation
The allele frequency for normal cell hemoglobin for current generation
The genotypic frequency for present generation is as follows:
The mean fitness is calculated as follows:
The genotypic frequency for next generation will be:
The frequency of new allele is:
Therefore, the frequency of allele for sickle cell is
b.
To determine:
The frequency of “sickle cell allele” at equilibrium.
b.
Explanation of Solution
The allele frequency for sickle cell at equilibrium is
The allele frequency for sickle cell at equilibrium is
Therefore, the frequency of allele for sickle cell is
